    3 sm Carrots, diced
    2 sm Parsnips, diced
    1 md Turnip, cut in chunks
    2 ea Celery stalks, diced
    Celery leaves from
    1 lg Onion, stuck with 2 cloves
    1 cn Tomatoes with liquid
    1 cn Tomato paste
    1 sm Bn flat-leaf parsley
    1 ea Bay leaf
    Fresh rosemary and thyme
    Black peppercorns

    Put 3 quarts of water in the bottom of a large stock
    pot with a pasta insert. Add the tomato liquid and
    tomato paste. Put all of the other ingredients in the
    pasta insert. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower
    the heat, cover and simmer for about 3 hours. Lift out
    the pasta insert, letting out the liquid fall back
    into the pot. Press down on the solids to extract as
    much liquid as possible and return all the liquid to
    the pot. Discard the solids.

    Note: This started out to be vegetable stock to use up
    some leftover stuff I had on hand, but after I
    strained the stock I decided to use it as a cooking
    liquid for pasta. The pasta thickened and flavored the
    stock to such an extent that I decided to save the
    leftovers to use as a tomato-vegetable soup. I may add
    some vegetables and small pasta to that.

  • Standard Tomato Sauce

    Recipe

    Title: Standard Tomato Sauce
    Categories: Canning, Vegetables
    Yield: 1 recipe

    Quantity: For thin sauce — An average of 35 pounds is needed per canner
    load of 7 quarts; an average of 21 pounds is needed per canner load of 9
    pints. A bushel weighs 53 pounds and yields 10 to 12 quarts of sauce-an
    average of 5 pounds per quart.

    For thick sauce — An average of 46 pounds is needed per canner load of
    7 quarts; an average of 28 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints.
    A bushel weighs 53 pounds and yields 7 to 9 quarts of sauce-an average
    of 6-1/2 pounds per quart.

    Procedure: Prepare and press as for making tomato juice. Simmer in
    large-diameter saucepan until sauce reaches desired consistency Boil
    until volume is reduced by about one-third for thin sauce, or by
    one-half for thick sauce. Add bottled lemon juice or citric acid to jars
    (See acidification directions). Add 1 teaspoon of salt per quart to the
    jars, if desired. Fill jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Adjust lids and
    process. Recommended process times are given in Table 1, Table 2, and
    Table 3.

    boiling-water canner.

    .
    NOTE: This section of the guide appears to contain some sort of error
    in the information given within Table 3 above. In the USDA book, there
    are only TWO sizes of jars specified in the table, but there are THREE
    separate lines of figures in the table, and it is not completely clear
    which jar size the second and third entries refer to. I have given the
    second entry’s numbers as those to be used for Quart jars, and below I
    have reprinted the third entry on the table, for an unknown jar size.

  • Aunty Bettys Bombe

    Recipe

    Title: AUNTY BETTY’S BOMBE
    Categories: Desserts, Usenet
    Yield: 4 servings

    2 c Double cream
    1/3 c Sugar
    4 T Water
    6 oz Chocolate, plain
    3 Egg yolks

    Whisk 1/2 of the cream until stiff and spread it around the edges of a
    large bowl. Freeze for 1/2 to 1 hour.

    Dissolve the sugar in the water, bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes
    until syrupy. Meanwhile, break chocolate into blender or warm bowl.

    Pour the hot sugar syrup onto the chocolate and blend or whisk until the
    chocolate has all melted. Add the egg yolks and mix the whole lot
    thoroughly.

    Whisk the remaining cream into soft peaks and fold gently into the
    chocolate mixture. Pour into the centre of the frozen cream and freeze for
    several hours until solid. Cover when fully frozen.

    NOTES:

    * A high-cholesterol chocolate dessert — This recipe comes from a
    friend’s aunt. It always seems to taste wonderful no matter how sloppily I
    measure things. Yield: Serves 4-6.

    * Although the recipe “serves 4-6,” two people will happily eat the whole
    thing.

    * The outside is frozen solid, so you may find a fork useful for breaking
    your portion into pieces without showering fellow diners with fragments. It
    could be served in small portions, but don’t count on having any left over.

    * Double cream has more than 45 percent butterfat. It is difficult to
    find cream in North America that is richer than whipping cream, which is
    typically 32 percent butterfat. If you can find heavy cream it is likely to
    be 36 percent. Use the richest cream you can find.

    : Difficulty: easy.
    : Time: 20 minutes preparation, 3 hours cooling.
    : Precision: no need to measure.

    Turkey carcass

    I love turkey soup. Here’s what I do. Cut the carcass in half and put
    it into a large stockpot. Add 1 huge onion; diced medium, 3 stalks
    celery, chopped medium , 3 carrots, medium dice, 1 cup yellow and 1
    cup green split peas and enough wat er to cover the ingredients by an
    inch or two. Let this mixture come to a boil. Lower the -> flame to a
    good simmer and cook for about 3/4 of an hour. Add 1 can chick peas, a
    handful of small pasta (tubetti or tubbettini are my favorites) a nd
    when the pasta is al dente, the soup is finished. Taste and adjust
    seasoning with salt and pepper and eat! After the soup is chil led
    remove the carcass pick off any pieces of turkey that remain. You
    may want to add more water, as this does produce quite a thick
    soup. Add as much as you need. The vegetables and peas will have
    flavored the broth enough to withstand t he addition of more water. I
    hope you enjoy this soup. SUSAN FROM: SUSAN AARONSON
